It’s still lawn, but officially it’s easement. You officially own it and are required to maintain it, but the community has unfettered access to it. They don’t need your permission to work on sidewalks, utilities and other such things in and under that area. I also believe most insurance companies refuse to cover damages to that area because it’s considered, for their purposes, community property.
A million million disputes between property owners and their village, township, city or even county have erupted over easement rights and responsibilities.
